“Perfection” — Wolfgang Promper

Wolfgang Promper recently took an FLI MicroLine MLx694 to Tivoli AstroFarm in

Namibia. Paired with the Tele Vue NP127, CenterLine filter wheel, and Atlas

focuser, the results were spectacular! His review:

“The sensitivity is amazing, the noise extremely low, but what I really felt is that it is

the perfection we all are looking for. Every subframe looks like a calibrated master

and it connects you directly to the object you’re imaging. If it were a musical

instrument, I would compare it with a Stradivarius.”

At Finger Lakes Instrumentation, we design and build unrivaled cameras, filter

wheels, and focusers to pave your way to success—whichever path you choose.

Designed and manufactured in New York, USA.
